Chikara King of Trios 2008

CHIKARA: The 27th trio revealed as King of Trios 2008 draws near!

They are coming from across the globe: Japan, Mexico, Canada, Egypt and Europe. They are coming from all over the United States: From Pennsylvania to Hawaii, from Minnesota to Louisiana. And when you put 84 wrestlers under one roof - in one massive tournament - you end up with the biggest tournament in pro-wrestling history. Let that sink in for a moment. Go ahead. I'll wait.

Today, one of two remaining trios is revealed. Our pals at Dragon Gate are sending a very talented up-and-coming member of the DG NEX stable - that wily Japanese hip-hopper m.c. KZ. We looked around our locker room, and truth be told, we're fresh out of Japanese hip-hoppers. So, we're going to team him up with fan-favorite duo Cheech & Cloudy, since they don't currently have a partner for the tournament, and frankly, it wouldn't be a party without them.

The "Best of 2007" 22-match compilation is now up for sale over at Smart Mark Video. Go check it out - it's a huge 3-disc set with some bonus materials and loads of great matches at a price ya can't beat! This is the best starting point for new CHIKARA fans, so if you've got a friend that isn't on the bandwagon yet, buy this for 'em and make 'em watch it!

We've added hotel and travel information to our site to help those looking to stay in the area for King of Trios weekend, and there will be a special fan conclave held on Saturday afternoon for fans to attend - complete with a Q & A panel, autograph sessions, and more!

Advance tickets for our mind-blowing tournament, King of Trios, are on sale until Feb 28!
